    Summary

    When Kotallo lost his arm, it was more than just a limb that he had lost. It was his prowess with a bow. It was his utility as a Marshal. His arm was gone, his life a ruin, and nothing would ever be the same.

    It did not occur to him that this could be a good thing.

    It did not occur to him that he could find new purpose in his life. It did not occur to him that an outlander with hair like blood and a spirit as fierce as blazefire would help him find that purpose.

    With Aloy as his witness, Kotallo would find himself again, and nothing would ever be the same.

    ********************
    In other words: a wish fulfillment fic where Aloy and Kotallo fall in love over the course of the game. Canon scenes and dialogue blended and padded out with introspection, cozy conversations, smut, and all the GAIA Gang bonding that we deserved. ❤

    Summary

    Watford University has an old tradition, every first years are paired by what is called the Tuitum. It means that those two students must work as a team for all three years of undergrad. Of course Baz was paired with Simon Snow, the protégé of his mother murderer. It doesn't mean that Baz is able to control his feelings for Simon or that Simon understand what is going on. Everything changes when Simon got assigned the cold case of Natasha Grimm-Pitch as its 3rd year dissertation.

    Summary

    They say the wizard Pitch traverses the land in his moving castle, looking for hearts to steal and devour. Simon's too busy to worry about such things - he's got a farm to run, cheese to sell, and countless wonky goat faces to stitch onto bags. It'd be a bloody nightmare if something were to come along and disrupt his regimented life of cheese, eat, goat, sleep, repeat...say, for example, a wraith who behaves a lot like a scorned vampire, a plucky apprentice, a fire demon, a heedless war, or an unshakeable curse. Yes, it'd be just dreadful if that were to happen. (But if it didn't, there would be no plot, so. Sorry, Simon.)

    Summary

    Of all the things I expect my father to tell me when we convene in his study, it very much isn’t, “The Old Families want you to befriend the Chosen One.”

     

    A COMPLETED fic of Simon and Baz’s eight years together at Watford with one fundamental change to their relationship: what if eleven-year-old Baz had been instructed to be Simon’s friend instead of his enemy? (Answer: much the same initial antagonistic relationship that becomes a slow-burning and character-defining romance.)

    Includes lots of magickal worldbuilding that fill in the gaps of their missing years at Watford, their coming-of-age stories, and their eventual love story.

    Covers Simon Snow and the Mage’s Heir (year 1) through Carry On (year 8).

    Summary

    Simon Snow didn’t survive the White Chapel. In the wake of everything, Baz finds him in reflections, glimpses of bronze hair in the corner of his eye. There are echoes of him. They are all over Watford, in all the places they shared. Baz sees Simon in the tower where they grew up together, trapped in mirrors and glass, and maybe Simon is starting to see him, too.
